:: The One with Bukit Tagar ::
This week I was invited along to the Bukit Tagar Sanitary Landfill which is situation along the NSE, exiting at the Bukit Tagar/Batang Berjuntai exit.
[Warning : This is a simplified technical post to suit the majority of my readers]
This brainchild of KUB Malaysia and BERJAYA Group is situated in the middle of an oil palm plantation and is roughly 50 km from Kuala Lumpur. It serves as a waste management solution for the Majlis Perbandaran Selayang and Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur for a design life of 40 years.
Now most of you most be wondering, what is a landfill?
A landfill is a site for disposal of waste materials by burial means. Waste/Refuse we produced are buried at these sites and biodegraded for a period of time.
The Bukit Tagar Sanitary Landfill is one of the premier landfill in the region, being a Level IV landfill that proudly manages to treat raw leachate (toxic liquid that drains ‘leaches’ from landfills) to comply with the Standard B requirements via a complex treatment system that comprises of holding ponds, sequential batch reactor lagoons, dissolved air flotation tank, fragmitis plant reed beds and a “zero-discharge” policy.
Now who says Malaysia Tak Boleh?
